## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "batch_quotes",
    "arguments": {}

}
```

## Why batch_quotes is rated Low

This tool retrieves quote data (price, bid/ask, etc.) for multiple instruments in batch. Market data retrieval is a passive read operation that queries existing information without modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The empty description slightly reduces confidence, but the naming convention and sibling context make the classification clear.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'batch_quotes' combined with sibling tools (single_quote, batch_klines, batch_ticks, batch_depths) all clearly retrieve market data."

Risk signals: Bulk/mass operation — affects multiple targets

## Use case

AI agents call batch_quotes to retrieve information from Itick without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Itick:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "batch_quotes": {}
  }
}
```
